Interstate 80 Lakes Landscape Painting at Dusk

Walk Back From the Third Lake“Walk Back From the Third Lake” is a landscape painting I did at dusk in mid February. The third lake refers to the third lake at the Mormon Island State Recreation Area about 8 miles South of Grand Island, Nebraska, right off the junction of Interstate 80 and Nebraska Highway 281.

These three lakes are part of series of over 50 small lakes that run from Grand Island to around Hershey, Nebraska about 150 miles to the west. The lakes are man made “sand pits” that were excavated for the sand during the construction of the Interstate during the 1960’s.
